Will a DirectTV HD receiver work with a non HD TV?

Long story short. We are in the processing of moving and decided on adding direct tv to our Qwest bundle. We ordered a HD/DVR for our new Sony Bravia and a HD reciever for the tv in another room. After I hung with the Qwest rep I realized that the second tv isn't HD. Called Qwest back to change my order.

After spending 20 minutes on hold I was told that I can't change my order. I could cancel it, but then I would have place a new order with Direct TV as Qwest can't cancel and reorder. Yeah, right.

Anyway, they suggested that once installed, call direct tv back and switch out the receivers..... sounds like another trial & tribulation in the making.

So then, will an HD receiver work with a non-HD tv (at least for the non-HD stations)?

We are told that at Qwest that the dtv techs will not install a HD receiver on a non-HD tv. So that might be a issue when the dtv techs show up for the install.....

Customer installation support should be able to change any order before it is installed, and most time will be able to do it within a limited time afterwards. Don't takt the Quests word for it.
It shouldn't be a problem for them to install an HD receiver on a regular TV, but they do like to have an HD TV there.
